anything novel created by virtue of your intellectual power can be patented, which will be useful for mankind. this ppt. presents the property which can be patented and how to be patented .
These are the slides of a presentation to solicitors, barristers and others at 4-5 Gray;s Inn Square on 26 June 2013. It defines intellectual property ("IP") as the legal protection of intellectual assets ("IA") which are the brands, designs, technology or creative works that give a business a competitive advantage over its rivals. The study discusses how the law protects each of those assets: brands by designs, passing off, geographical indications and registered designs, for example,. and technology by patents, the law of confidence, unregistered design right, plant breeders rights and copyright. However, IP rights create monopolies and restraints of trade that are as harmful as any other. The law that creates these rights also regulates their subsistence and exercise. Thus, IP law strikes a balance between two conflicting interests: that of incentivizing creativity and innovation against promoting competition and freedom of trade. The tension between those two public interests has always existed and its appreciation is fundamental to understanding IP law. One instance where it appeared was in the Uruguay Round of negotiations of trade liberalization between 1986 and 1994 which led to the WTO agreement and TRIPS. Since 1994 IP protection has been one of the conditions of access to the markets of the leading industrial countries. TRIPS refers to four core treaties - Paris, Berne, Rome and Washington. These are the general protection treaties. Others, such as the PCT, Madrid and Hague, facilitate multiple patent, trade mark and registered design applications. There are classification agreements like Nice and Locarno and regional agreements like the European Patent Convention. The presentation considered the harmonization of European copyright, registered design and trade mark law and the Community trade mark and Community design regulations. It identified the core British statutes: the Patents Act 1977, Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the Trade Marks Act 1994 and the Registered Designs Act 1949. It discussed also some of the more important secondary legislation such as the Patents, Trade Marks and Registered Designs Rules. Finally, it identified some of the sources of law in print and on the internet listing the materials that can be downloaded from the IPO, EPO, OHIM, WIPO and other sites.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

IP-INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY- is a term
referring to a number of distinct types of
creations of mind for which a set of exclusive
rights are recognized in the corresponding
fields of law.
4. What is the meaning of IPR?

21. Introduction:
What is the meaning of GATT?
GATT means “General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade”
GATT is an international agreement on trade
Formalities between different countries
regarding trading & distribution of different
commodities in between different countries.
22. The main purpose of GATT is to provide
guidelines on various aspects related to
international trading of various commodities.
Example:
The state policies regarding import-export
Protection of interests of the manufacturers
and exporters through the IPR.
23. 1. Trade barriers should be lowered in general
and quotas should be eliminated
2. There should not be discrimination among
trading partners
3. National treatment – imported goods treated
same as domestic goods
4. Tariff concessions, once made, cannot be
rescinded without compensating trade
partners, and new barriers cannot be erected
in place of lowered tariffs
5. Trade disputes to be settled by consultation
24. Introduction:
What is the meaning of TRIPS?
TRIPS means “Trade Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights(TRIPS)
Agreement”
25. World Trade Organization (WTO):
• WTO is the successor to the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) established in the
wake of the WWII
• First took effect in January 1995.
26. • Growth in world trading.
• Increased importance of global IP protection.
• Existing provisions of international law were
perceived insufficient.
1. Absence of enforcement of rights before
national judicial authorities.
2. Lack of a dispute settlement mechanism
between States.
3. Standards were outdated.
27. The most detailed and
comprehensive
multilateral
agreement on
intellectual property
yet negotiated.
28. • TRIPS introduced intellectual property rules
into the multilateral trading system for the first
time.
• Membership in WTO requires a country to
agree to adopt the minimum standards for
intellectual property regulation.
• IP laws are established and enforced by each
individual Member Country.
29. • How basic principles of the trading system
and other international intellectual property
agreements should be applied.
• How to give adequate IP protection.
• How to enforce IP rights.
• How to settle disputes on IP between
members of the WTO.
• Special transitional arrangement.
30. Broadly through following two premises:
(I) Widespread piracy, counterfeiting and
infringements of intellectual property rights
constituted a barrier to trade
(II) IPRs transfer agreements
31. To reduce distortions and impediments to
international trade and take into account the need
to promote competent as well as adequate
protection of IPRs
To ensure that measures and procedures to enforce
IPRs do not themselves become barriers to
legitimate trade
To reduce tensions by reaching strengthened
commitment to resolve disputes on trade-related
IP issues through multilateral procedures
32. To establish a mutually supportive relationship
between the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and
World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO)
33. The intellectual property areas covered by the TRIPs
Agreement are:
• Copyright and related rights
• Trademarks
• Industrial designs
• Patents
• Layout-designs (topographies) of integrated
circuits
• Undisclosed information, including trade secrets
• Enforcement
34. Standards: The agreement expresses minimum standards of
protection
(I) The subject matter to be protected
(II) The rights to be conferred and permissible exceptions
(III) The minimum period of protection
Enforcement
(I) Provisions for domestic procedure and remedies for the
enforcement of the IPRs
(II) Includes general principle applicable to IPR
enforcement procedure apart from administrative, civil and
criminal procedure available for enforcement of rights of the
right holder
Dispute settlement: The agreement further provides for the
settlement of disputes over IPR among the member states
within the parameters of dispute settlement procedure
